Unraveling the future productivity burden of cardiovascular disease in Qatar: Investigating the modifiable risk factors control in type 2 diabetes حسب Dina Abushanab (10696501)

"…The financial value of PALYs was determined based on the gross domestic product (GDP) per full-time worker (i.e. US$80,573). The base-case model estimated the productivity burden of CVD, and interventional scenarios were simulated to assess potential gains resulting from improved control of modifiable risk factors, including reduced incidence of T2D, lower systolic blood pressure (SBP), decreased number of smokers, and reduced total cholesterol. …"

Effectiveness of Positron Emission Tomography for Predicting Chemotherapy Response in Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases حسب Glazer, Evan

"…For example, a few years ago an extrahepatic metastasis effectively eliminated surgical resection, but a combination of chemotherapeutic options and surgical techniques has expanded the indications for resection and increased the population of patients who may benefit.1,2 Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has increased the resectability rate by 11% to 37%.1 Unfortunately, greater than 80% of patients undergoing hepatic resection will have recurrences, mostly within the first 2 years.2 Nonetheless, the only hope for cure is resection, and prior surgical dogma based on the number of lesions, size of the tumor-free resection margin, and presence of resectable extrahepatic disease must be questioned.3- 5 The current standard approach to surgical planning is contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for specific tumor characteristics or contraindications to CT.6 Several series showed that focal extrahepatic disease, an isolated pulmonary lesion, can be safely resected, with 5-year survival rates of 29% to 58%.7,8 In 1 series,7 17 of 30 patients required 3 or more resections. …"

Urban Geometry: The Effect of Height Diversity and Buildings Configuration on Thermal Performance and Cooling Load at Urban Scale. A Case Study in Dubai / UAE حسب SHAREEF, SUNDUS LUAY

"…Furthermore, building orientation plays a significant role in the thermal performance of the urban block, and it contributes to the total cooling load energy saving of the urban block by 6.6 % at the peak time of cooling demand. Moreover, the research found that the variation in building heights will increase the wind velocity by up to 23 %, and this improvement in air flow affects the outdoor air temperature positively. …"

Teaching the novel in a university english as a foreign language (EFL) context حسب Bacha, Nahla Nola

"…The aim of the present study is to explore the preliminary  effect of selected novels combined with film and student oral presentations on L1 Arabic EFL learners  use of vocabulary in one 20th Century American Novel course at an English medium university in Lebanon. Two literary essay tests were administered to 25 students, one at the beginning and another at the end of the semester, holistically scored and qualitatively analyzed for vocabulary variety. Main findings indicated that although the holistic scores did not significantly increase, there was use of a more diverse and use of vocabulary on Test 2. Recommendations are made for classroom practice and future research.…"
